Sync guests from Eventbrite or Google Sheets
Link an Eventbrite event or a Google Sheet to an event so ticket buyers and sheet rows become invitations and stay up to date.
Link a guest list
- Open the event. On the Guests tab, find Linked guest lists.
- Click Link a guest list and choose the Source: Eventbrite or Google Sheets.
- Fill in what it asks for (below), then click Link.
Eventbrite
- Eventbrite event URL — the address of the event's page on eventbrite.com.
- Private token — from your Eventbrite account under Developer → API keys. It never leaves the server and is only used to read attendees.
Ticket buyers become invitations, and a refund on Eventbrite revokes the QR here.
Google Sheets
- In the sheet, choose Share → Anyone with the link → Viewer and copy the link.
- Make sure the first row names the columns:
guestName,guestEmail,guestRef,partySize,table. The reference or the email keeps rows matched. - Paste it into Google Sheets link (shared as view-only).
Keep editing the sheet; changes are picked up on the next sync.
Keep it in sync
Each linked list shows when it last synced and how many guests were added, updated and revoked.
- Sync now pulls the latest list right away.
- Keep in sync (the switch) lets it sync on its own. Turn it off to pause.
- Unlink stops syncing. Invitations already issued stay; they just stop being updated.
Rows stay matched, so a re-sync updates guests instead of duplicating them. You can link more than one list to the same event, and each keeps syncing on its own.
A row that can't be imported — a blocked guest, a full event or a plan limit — is skipped without stopping the rest. For a one-off file, use Import guests from a CSV instead.
Another platform, a CRM or your own system?
Click Request a custom integration under Linked guest lists (or in the CSV import dialog). Tell us which system, how many guests and how often it should sync; it reaches our team as a request you can follow under Help & support, and we answer with what's possible, usually within one business day.
